PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING YOUR CLASSES:
- Classes will need to be pre-booked and paid for via each tutors website or via email using the links below and make sure you book quick as we expect classes to sell out fast!

- You must have a ticket to FYI Craft Show to attend any class - tickets can be purchased via the ticket link above, one of the shops listed on the Tickets page, or at the door!

- Please make sure you don't double book yourself into classes on at the same time - if you want to do multiple classes running in the same time slot, you will need to ask the individual tutors if a kit is possible or available for the classes before you book them.

- Individual Tutors will email you class lists of what to bring no later than one week prior to the date of the class. If you have not heard from the tutor by then please contact them direct.

- Please be aware that due to the nature of holding classes at a big venue all tutors have had to pay a classroom hire fee and therefore included a portion of that into the prices of each class, while still trying to keeping the classes as affordable as possible.

​

Disclaimer: Each tutor is responsible for their own classroom, classes and pricing. In the event that a class cannot be carried out it is the tutors responsibility to provide kits or refunds not the responsibility of FYI Craft Show. Any questions, issues or disputes regarding classes are to be resolved directly with the individual tutor or company whose class has been booked into.

This layout is very pretty but doesn’t use bunches of flowers.

It has a few grunge elements created by tearing, layering & inking but nothing too strenuous for the last class on the schedule.
